What Causes A Disoriented Feeling After Experiencing An Electric Shock?

My 49 yr old husband accidentally shocked himself while fixing a piece of machinery 220 a/c a week and a half ago. He seemed to be fine so he didn t go to the doctor. Now he has been having symptoms of his left chest back the ring him even along the front of his shoulder. He has been under a lot of stress lately but otherwise healthy. This strange nagging feeling has been going on about 2-3 days. Should I take him to the doctors?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think an evaluation of your husband's primary care Doctor and chest x-rays are necessary to understand better your husband's condition. If he felt after the electric shock, fractured ribs, for example, may cause such symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
